About Me

My photo
Hi, my name is Terri. My grandmothers taught me how to crochet and embroider on dish towels when I was a little girl, and that started my love of crafting. Over the years I tried different things but my favorite is still stamping and card making. And what makes it better now is that my 2 sisters like it also!! It's fun when we can get together and make cards!! I love learning new ideas and techniques and give hope to others to step out of their comfort zone and try a few new things. Thanks so much for stopping by....follow along if you'd like and see what we can create!!

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 419




Hello - it's time for Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 419, a photo inspiration challenge this week, sponsored by Freckled Fawn.  Please visit the Freckled Fawn website HERE to see all the wonderful images and products they have to offer.  You will be very pleased you did!

Our photo inspiration this week is this:

I was inspired by the plaid pattern in the pillows, bedspread and ribbon on the wreath.  I also wanted to follow the Christmas theme and did that in the sentiment.  I also brought in a few pine needles that reminded me of the wreath.  All products in my card are from Stampin' Up.

I hope you'll join our photo inspiration challenge - remember, it's whatever catches your eye that inspires you. You can see the other design team members' creations HERE.  Thanks so much for stopping by.
